You know your pregnant when...

You spend 9 hours at work - going to meetings, checking email, answering phones and even running a couple errands at lunch time only to come home in the evening and realize you have two completely different shoes on.

It's a.....


GIRL!!!

The Gypsy was WRONG (well - according to the best opinion from our Sonogram Tech!) and we are indeed going to be parents of a sweet little girl.

We thought for sure it would be a boy - so we both got a surprise, but we are so excited about our healthy little girl.

As you can see - the blog colors have been updated with the recent news. ;)

Here are a couple of updated pictures of Matt and I from this weekend also. We were heading to a wedding. I promise Matt usually takes better pictures...:)

You know you live in Suburbia when....

1. The HOA has a 4th of July Parade and the kids out number the adults 8 to 1.

2. You are convinced the neighbors around the corner are Swingers.

3. When you go for walks around the neighborhood - you must participate in the mandatory "hello" exchanges from those that are sitting on their front porches...which is of course every other house.

4. You meet your neighbors for the first time, and they immediately start telling you the age and gender of every child under 10 on the block. They can't remember parents names, but they know the kids...and that's only because of their kids. Oh - and they of course know their dogs names.

5. You are at the neighborhood pool and the lady next to you is 50+ but has had enough surgery to make her seem around 35...drinking Dos Equis in cans...by herself. And of course she was also covered in bling. Maybe she's part of the Swingers Club too.

6. There is an awesome Sno-Cone Truck that rolls through the neighborhoods at night...driven and run by a girl no more than 16 years old, cute, blond and very tan.

7. The average number of kids per household is 3.5.

8. Everyone has lawn service, even though most yards are so tiny it would only take 15 minutes to mow it yourself.

*Disclaimer* - I know this post was a little out of the ordinary for my Baby Blog, but I just had to share and shake things up a bit. We have many more additions to this list...so I'll add more as they come in. We can't wait!

Maybe a boy....maybe a girl

Matt and I found out today what the gender of the newest little addition will be. However - to keep my immediate family from finding out prior to our telling them, I'm not posting it here just yet (sorry Middlebury & Houston - you have to wait too!). The Abram/Heign/Guggenheim's will be celebrating me and Mom's birthday's next weekend - so I am making everyone wait until then.

In the meantime - here is a snippet from our Ultrasound today (push the play button). You can see the profile of the baby and in the lower right hand corner you can see the little heart beating super fast. The end of this video is where they start getting into the 4D image. I think at this point the baby had enough and put it's hand in between the camera and it's face. :)


And here is a sonogram of those cute little feet!

This is the 4D picture that Matt and I think is a little freaky looking....:) The baby is using my uterus as a pillow.
